Servings 8
Equipment
- A Pressure Cooker
- A trivet, or a trivet with handles or a steamer basket . Any of these work well, although the steamer basket is probably the best for the job. Instant pot wings become very tender and lifting them with the help of the steamer basket makes it easier.
- A baking sheet with a wire rack to grill the buffalo chicken wings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup water or chicken broth
- 700 g bone-in chicken wings cut into drumettes and flats (party wings) fresh, thawed or frozen
For the Seasoning Mix

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Buffalo Sauce
- 1 cup Hot Sauce Frank’s Red Hot
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Season the chicken wings with the spice mix.
- Pour 1 cup of water or broth into the bottom of the instant pot.
- Place the trivet or steamer basket inside the pressure cooker.
- Place the seasoned fresh or frozen chicken wings on the trivet or inside the steamer basket.
- Close the lid and turn the valve to sealed.
- Cook on high pressure and set the timer, 15 mins for frozen, 10 mins for fresh
- After the cooking is done, do a natural release pressure for 5 minutes.
- Release the remaining pressure and remove the wings from the pressure cooker.

Notes
How To Make Buffalo Sauce
I must admit, Buffalo sauce is my favorite chicken wing sauce. Although I have other favorites like these Honey BBQ Slow Cooker Chicken Wings, I always go back to my first love Buffalo Wild Wing Sauce!!
This Buffalo Sauce recipe is simple and easy to make. It only has 3 ingredients:
Hot Sauce, my favorite sauce for hot wings is Frank’s Red Hot
Butter (if you follow a dairy-free diet you can omit it or use vegan butter substitute)
Honey (omit if on a Keto diet) To make this Buffalo Sauce recipe, melt the butter in a sauce pan, stir in the hot sauce and honey and simmer for a few minutes. Original Info: here
